Question

An illustration shows a graph labeled Reading Rate. The horizontal axis is labeled minutes and ranges from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis is labeled pages and ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. An upward slanting line segment connects points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 30 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 50 right parenthesis. A dotted line labeled 10 is drawn from left parenthesis 1 comma 10 right parenthesis to left parenthesis 1 comma 20 right parenthesis. Another dotted line labeled 1 is drawn from left parenthesis 1 comma 20 right parenthesis to left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis. A solid line labeled 20 is drawn from left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis to left parenthesis 2 comma 40 right parenthesis. Another solid line labeled 2 is drawn from left parenthesis 2 comma 40 right parenthesis to left parenthesis 4 comma 40 right parenthesis.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

From the given information, we can see that Student 2 reads 30 pages in 2 hours, which is 15 pages per hour. Similarly, Student 2 reads 45 pages in 3 hours, which is again 15 pages per hour. However, when we look at the reading rate of Student 1 from the graph, the maximum reading rate is 10 pages per hour. Therefore, Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.

So the correct answer is: Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
